Thomas Morgan Evans is a Henry Moore post-doctoral fellow. He has a PhD in art history from University College London and has taught there and at the Courtauld Institute of Art. He has written criticism for Art History and The Burlington Magazine, and has worked for the Tate, the ICA and for LUX.
3D Warhol is a fascinating exploration of a facet of Warhols work that is often ignored. Thomas Morgan Evans examines Warhol as an artist rather than a media personality, comparing his work to a wide selection of contemporaries including Basquiat, Mel Bochner, Wolfgang Tillmans, Donald Judd, Carl Andre and Jeff Koons. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in the work of Andy Warhol highly recommended.
Gary Comenas, Founder of Warholstars.org
By critically investigating the artists underappreciated sculptural work, 3D Warhol fills a crucial gap in Warhol scholarship. And it does so with aplomb, delving confidently into a wide range of familiar and unfamiliar objects, illuminating the ways in which they exploit and undermine traditional sculptural aesthetics. At once erudite and accessible, 3D Warhol provides an ideal introduction to the depth and breadth of Warhols remarkable career.
